Winter Rallying!

[focus1]

Hi rally people! The snow has arrived here in Norway and I wan't to use my rallycars on it! It would be verry easy to make a track in the snow, the difficult part I think would be to gett the tires to gripp. I had one suggestion from a friend. Hi said I could try to use small needels with buttons in the end. In Norway they are caled "button needels"

I wonder if anny one in here gott som experience with this ore somthig els that would work?

Thanks fellas!

You're most likely to not get much of a response at the moment, as the club is officially offline []

I would use the little pin studs on the tires, completely waterproof the car by putting a ballon over the motor and electrics and putting the electrics in small plastic containers, make something to cover up the gap between the shell and the tires, buy a waterproof esc and then learn how to control a drift[][].

Hi, I cast in my elelectrics to cast silicone. My friend use electrics for RC powerboat.

Vivat Rally!

Thanks for all the suggestions. I had forgotten about this tread as so manny things have happend to me on the rc car front latley. Sorry for that! Love those spiked wheels on Kontemax's Lancia. I wonder if/how he gott them to stay there under driving? Also I'm wondering about waterproof setup. Is there anny point in covering the motor, have driven a stock 540 under wather with now problem but I have heard that they are really solid compared to faster motors? If I put a baloon on my motor, woulden't it melt? I will now subscribe to this forum so please keep your most wanted opinions coming!

Motors have no big problem against water so you dont need to put baloons over them, some put not dense farbic to allow some heat exchange but not small stones to get inside.

Cheers

Smart! I have had those problems, you gett stones in the can and it can completly stopp. Anny ideas for what fabric I should be using?

Nylon tights i have heard do a good job whilst still allowing air into the motor......

Not that I have any nylon tights myself you understand <cough>....
